The table below provides every team's ranking on key Dashboard metrics and is colour-coded to reflect those rankings most different from a team's ladder position. Rankings shaded red are for metric where this ranking is four places or more lower than the team's ladder position, while those shaded green where this ranking is four places or more higher than the team's ladder position.

The two teams that stand out most in the table, for opposite reasons, are Fremantle and Collingwood, Fremantle because of the large number of metrics for which it is ranked 5th or lower, and Collingwood because of the large number of metrics for which is is ranked 8th or higher.

Finally, to the MoS Win Production Function (WPF), which would have it that, based on each team's scoring metrics, the teams should have finished as follows (the actual competition ladder finish is shown in brackets):

Hawthorn (3rd)

West Coast (2nd)

Sydney (4th)

Richmond (5th)

Fremantle (1st)

Adelaide (7th)

Western Bulldogs (6th)

Kangaroos (8th)

Port Adelaide (9th)

Collingwood (12th)

Geelong (10th)

GWS (11th)

St Kilda (14th)

Melbourne (13th)

Essendon (15th)

Gold Coast (16th)

Brisbane Lions (17th)

Carlton (18th)

We have then, according to the WPF, the right set of Finalists, just in the "wrong" order, Fremantle the notable outlier for all the reasons already given.
